Hello @kmyahhayes1234 and Welcome to QuestionCove!

Give me a moment to read your question :)

Angle · Answer

Ok, so I believe your equation looks like this:
$y = \frac{x}{2}-3$

What we are looking for is the "x-intercept"
What this means is that "What does x equal when y is zero?"

so, let's try to plug in y = 0 into our equation and figure out what x is
$0 = \frac{x}{2}-3$

how can we solve for x?

so i think use formula

$$y = mx +b $$

$$y = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x -3$$
